1. Comparison group for gains includes 21-39 year-old college graduates in the noninstitutional civilian population, October 2016-September 2017 average.  Comparison group for reserve component officer corps includes college graduates in the civilian labor force (21-59 years old), 2017.
2. Officer gains reflect an addition to the commissioned officer ranks between 1 October 2016 and 30 September 2017. This addition can reflect a new accession, a movement from another component, or the return of the officer to the same component.  The OSD definition of a gain is a transaction in a database that reflects the addition of an SSN that was not in the previous file.
3. The data in this table reflect commissioned officers serving as of 30 September 2017.
